Giggle at the Ghosties (with a Fenton Thermos)

Danny moaned as he woke up. Man, I feel terrible. He had a headache the size of Texas and it wasn’t getting any better. He groaned and lifted his hooves up to his forehead. Wait, HOOVES!?!

Danny’s eyes shot open and indeed, two flesh-colored hooves were trembling in front of his face. He sat bolt-upright, sauce-panned eyes darting around the room. As far as Danny could tell, he was in a hospital, but that was in the back seat right now, seeing as HE WAS A HORSE!!! “What’s going on?” he said cautiously. The door opened and a sparkling green pony with a stethoscope and a lab coat on came in. “Ah, good, your awake. You’ve been out for three days. Would you like something to eat?” she said. Danny just stared at him. “You can talk?” The horse looked miffed. “Of course I can talk. You must have hit your head or something, thinking that ponies can’t speak.”

Danny looked around again. “Where am I?” he asked. “Why, you’re in the Crystal Empire Health Clinic.” The “doctor” replied. “No, I mean, where am I on Earth?” Danny amended.

The doctor looked puzzled, and replied “Don’t you mean Equis? You must have hit your head REALLY hard not to know what planet you’re on. Anyways, you’re in Equestria. Ruled by Princesses Celestia and Luna and, most recently, Twilight Sparkle. By the way, your accomplices are already awake. They also seemed confused at first. Although, they appear to have no knowledge of normal pony lifestyle.

“The pale one, Sam, seemed slightly disgusted at all the colors of this land, and the one with the orange beret, Tucker, was distraught to find that there isn’t any… um… ‘Tek-naw-lojie’ here. (Whatever THAT is…)”

“Well, that’s Tuck for you” said Danny, rolling his eyes.  His friend could be so weird sometimes. The doctor turned around as someone knocked on the door. “Ah, I’ll bet that’s your friends!” He opened the door to reveal two more ponies.

One was a Pegasus with a coat the color of pale skin with a black mane and tail. She had purple lipstick on and looked grumpy and happy at the same time. She had a weird tattoo on both flanks that looked kind of like the Batman logo. The other one was regular pony with a coat the color of dry dirt. His mane was obscured by an orange beret and he didn’t appear to have a tail.

Danny had no trouble guessing who they were. “Danny! You’re okay!” “Can you believe this place doesn’t have technology?” “We were so worried. How are you feeling?” “Not a Single computer in sight!” Danny held up his hooves in an attempt to quiet them. “I’m fine, I’m FINE! Let’s focus on finding out what went wrong with the Ghost Portal, then finding out how to get home.” “I’ve been hearing somepony pining for a computer” said a new voice.

A new pony walked through the open doorway. He had a yellow coat, yellow eyes, black mane and tail with a yellow streak through it, wings, a super-sharp horn, and a flank-tattoo of a yellow letter T, but the downward line was in the shape of a lightning bolt. He seemed to give off an aura of power and combat prowess, as if he had fought a million wars and won every single one of them. He handed Tuck a pitch black PDA "There you go. sorry about him. the crystal empire has beern cut off from the rest of Equestria for 1,000 years, so they're kinda behind the times." the pony turned to Danny “My name is Lightning Striker. Prince of Electricity, and Master of Technology. What’s your name?” “Danny Fenton” Danny said cautiously. Lightning looked to the doctor “have you done any tests on his magical ability yet?” he asked. “I was just about to.” The doctor pulled out a machine with a dial and screen on its front and what looked like a metal waffle cone with its point connected to a wire that led to the side of the machine. He put the cone on Danny’s horn and looked at the machine. The dial went into the red zone and the screen read: Magic Type: Ectoplasmic/Common. Lightning furrowed his brow. “Do you know any… Form Changing spells? Be honest.” Danny got up and looked at Sam and Tucker hesitantly. Then he saw Lightning’s expression and steeled his nerves. He focused and said “Going Ghost!!!” A vertical silver-blue ring of light expanded from his waist and separated into two rings, quickly moving away from each-other. As they moved, the hair and skin they passed over turned black and silver. Eventually the rings died out, revealing a new pony. He had a black coat, a silver mane and tail, glowing green eyes, and had magic of the same color swirling gently around his horn. The doctor was having a seizure out of total shock, while Lightning looked mildly impressed. “Knew it” he muttered. Suddenly a crystal guard burst into the room. “LIGHTNING!” the guard shouted “the princesses want you outside ASAP! A strange looking building just appeared outside the castle. Just appeared out of nowhere. And for some reason the building has a neon sign that says ‘Fenton Labs’.” Danny groaned. Now his parents were here. Great. They would probably try to kill all the ponies thinking they were ghosts. Lightning nodded “I’ll be right there” and left the room. Danny followed. Just in case…
